Topic: WiiWare Recommendations Thread

@Vaynard: I don't know how many stars I have but I did beat the game. The desert levels were tough, I remember them perfectly.

I recommend toribash. Its awesome.The fighting game that makes you think instead of button-mashing till you get blisters.

In other words, it's like every fighting game that isn't Soul Calibur or one of those lame licensed fighters? Good to know.

@Mickeymac
AWWWWW, weeaaak dude. Soul Caliber is the sh*t.
But, no it's a far cry from just "not being" Soul Caliber or like SNK vs whatever they're fighting now. It's completely turn based and involves either expanding/contracting/relaxing/holding/etc. a number of joints on your fighter's body to create fighting moves. EXCELLENT SUPER SICK AWESOME GAME, in my humble opinion.

I just bought Art Style Rorozoa and it is addicting as hell. Highly recommend it.

I have 800 points left on my living room Wii. Would you recommend I use them on Bit Trip Runner or Lit? Thanks.

@Bones00: I would go for Runner.

@cheetahman91 Thanks.

I have 1200 pts, I need some recommendations. Thinking about getiing 2 600pts games or a 500 and a 700

I want lenghty games, i like action, platforms, sports. It could be VC too, i have the classic control pro

Has anyone here tried And Yet It Moves? I was thinking about getting it but I'm not sure.

I Just Got World Of Goo(Love it!) and Still Have 500 Pts. Left. Any Suggestions?

I already Have Defend Your Castle,Grill-Off-With ultra hand,Kirby's Adventure,Super mario bros. 3,The Legend Of Zelda,and Metroid.

The Magic Obelisk?

What genre are you looking towards?

Tomena Sanner is IMO the best game of the WiiWare service to spend 500 points on.

Hey guys. I just registered a points card on Wii, and I'm looking for some WiiWare to get. I have 2500 points.
My WiiWare games already:
Defend Your Castle
My Pokemon Ranch (My brother bought it...)
WarioWare D.I.Y. Showcase
Groovin' Blocks

What I'm thinking of getting (in no particular order):
Tomena Sanner
Bit.Trip Beat (I played the demo)
Bit.Trip Runner
Other Bit.Trips?

And also, I'm a little interested in the WiiWare port of Cave Story. I've played the original and I love it, but I have a few questions about this one.

• Is the extra content really worth $12 when I already played the original?
• I've look at Nicalis's website page for Cave Story, and the said that the WiiWare version is "20% Faster than the original" and I did notice that the video of the WiiWare game looked like it was going too fast. Is this really an improvement? Does this make the game harder? Can the game be brought back to it's original speed?
• I've heard that there are some glitches with the new music and that Balrog doesn't say "Hazzah!" in the WiiWare game. I've heard that Nicalis wants to fix both of these for the EU version. Will they update the NA version after the EU version is released?
• How are the extra modes?

I'm not deeply considering Cave Story WiiWare because it costs $12 when I can play it on my computer for free (albiet with none of the extra features).

Also, I want to know what other games you guys recommend, because I haven't been looking around WiiWare for a looooooooong time.

Can't go wrong with any of the Bit.Trip's. I guess go with the one that intrigues you the most.

As for other recommendations, I'll shoot a few I can think of right now:
The Magic Obelisk
Flowerworks
HoopWorld
Water Warfare
And Yet It Moves
Art of Balance
TV Show King 2
Dive: TMIS
Jett Rocket
Swords & Soldiers

Ok I have 1500 points left. Here are the games I have...

Bit Trip Beat, Void (which I hated), Runner
All three Phoenix Wright Games
FFIV: TAY and all DLC
FFCC: both King and Darklord
NyxQuest
Driift Mania
Brain Challenge
Lit
A Monstecca Corral
Blaster Master Overdrive
Tomena Sanner
Space Invaders Get Even (hated)
Flowerworks
Yard Sale Hidden Treasures
Rage of the Gladiator
Swords and Soldiers
Excitebike World Rally
Alien Crush Returns
Both Texas Holdem games
LostWinds

What I am not interested in is World of Goo, Bit Trip Core, LostWinds2 as i didn't like the first one, Onslaught and Cave Story. I generally am interested in RPG's and Strategy games, but they are limited on Wiiware. Therefore I am looking for action or adventure, platforming or as a low priority puzzlers depending on the type. I don't like to sit there and think on a problem for a couple of hours to solve it. Anyway there is a start.

I'll repeat some of my suggestions from above:
The Magic Obelisk
HoopWorld
Water Warfare
And Yet It Moves
Art of Balance
TV Show King 2
Dive: TMIS
Jett Rocket
Bit.Trip CORE

lol i specifically said not Bit Trip Core, but I do get your drift.

Oops, sorry. I quickly skimmed over the last part and only remembered WoG and LW2.

Let me know if you need more suggestions.

@Vaynard

From what you say Tales of Monkey Island sounds to be the right game for you. It's full of fun problem solving and great puzzles.
It's just expensive..... Have you played some of the series before?

If you like puzzle/strategy games, some games in the Art Style series could be your thing (maybe try Cubello, or Orbient?).
Since you have two great racing games (Excitebike and Driift Mania), I can also recommend trying Art Style light trax.
You can't do wrong with the Art Style anyway so check out Rotohex and Rotozoa too.
As for more puzzle games I like to recommend Art of Balance.

Bonsai Barber is quite a unique game. It's hard to recommend because who has ever played a barber game? But anyway it's awesome.
TV Show King 2 gets a general recommendation too, if you like multiplayer and online and competitive education.

About what you're not interested in:
LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias is much better than the first game.
And World of Goo is a must, for the soundtrack alone.
